Multi-Dimensional Simulations of Pair-Instability Supernovae
arXiv:1006.2385 · doi:10.1016/j.cpc.2010.06.032
Abstract
We present preliminary results from multidimensional numerical studies of pair instability supernova (PSN), studying the fluid instabilities that occur in multiple spatial dimensions. We use the new radiation-hydrodynamics code, CASTRO, and introduce a new mapping procedure that defines the initial conditions for the multidimensional runs in such a way that conservation of physical quantities is guaranteed at any level of resolution.
